Our middle school students play violin, guitar, trumpet, and they sing. They attend a middle school in Las Vegas. Our student population is mainly lower income students. But against all odds, our music students learn their instruments at a very high level and have received many awards for their superior performances. Our music students are very respectful and have a great passion for music and for their school studies. We strive to have our students excel in ALL of their studies. We enforce a very strict no pass, no play rule in our music organization. It makes our students better musicians and students overall. Thank you for your support!!
